WENGER ADMITS DOUBTS OVER FUTURE

Posted on October 5, 2017 by index

Arsene Wenger has admitted that there are doubts over his future at Arsenal FC.


The Frenchman confessed to hesitating before signing the new deal in the last campaign. The experienced coach signed a two-year renewal a month before the expiration of the former deal.

Finishing in fifth place in the premier league, the first time since 1996, did put things in perspective. However, winning three of the last four FACup tournaments proffers buffer to the fans and club.

With the new season three games in, there are doubts that anything would change at the end of the campaign. After a hard fought game against Leicester City, defeats to Stoke City and Liverpool have confirmed the fears of Wenger’s naysayers. Continue reading →

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck is slated to make a comeback next week from a 7-months-old ligament injury he sustained at the Etihad Stadium in May this year.


The former Manchester United man was billed to fully heal next month but seems to have had a sped up healing process.

“Danny Welbeck is one week away from completing normal training. To be back in the squad, that will take some time because he wasn’t played for a long long time.”

As the England international resumes training next week, it won’t be of any harm to ask Santa Claus for a favour as regards injuries. Prior to this latest setback, he had actually been on to a forced vacation to the treatment table for 10 months before making a return to football in February this year. Continue reading →
